28

Today I turn 28 years young - those years really creep up on you. So...


*****28 Random Blurbs About Me on My Birthday*****

1) I am a cat person, really big cuddly ones to be exact.

3) Not so guilty pleasures - reading and seafood.
4) Something I wish was a pleasure - exercising.
5) Favorite movie - Sophie's Choice - makes me cry every time (it's a fabulous book too).
6) Favorite book - too hard to choose, but have recently enjoyed this one, this one, and this one.
7) Favorite children's book - also too hard to choose, but love this, this, and this...
8) I love music - all genres. Not a big country fan but some of the folky stuff that I enjoy really borders on country.

10) Favorite classical composer - Rachmaninoff.
11) Favorite color - green - and
12) Green eyes

15) My husband and I were born within a few miles of one another...
16) Our parents then up and moved to the same suburb.

20) I have had the same best friend for 10+ years.
